You'll already know a bit about blackberries and apples (we got ours from Essex and Suffolk), but you might not know as much about the mysterious damson. We got ours from Worcestershire, Shropshire & Herefordshire, and they're a bit like a plum, with a distinctive bluey-purple skin. They're packed with juice and aren't grown that much anymore, so ours come from people's back gardens as well as fruit farms (we had to grab every last one). The Romans brought them over here, but now they're definitely ours. And yours. So please, drink up, enjoy the rare damson and have a happy harvest.
